I've got a couple of the purple ones hanging out somewhere aside a stack of the brown ones. They should all have airline stamps, as this validates the vouchers, but the rest of the info was left blank entirely almost 100% of the time. And with the new voucher my limited experience is showing the same.

There appears to be a push by AoT to limit access to fast track at this point with airlines handing them out less and companies denying them for Y pax. Like every other policy this one will break down in time for one reason, money; there's more to be made when eligibility isn't limited.

No, of course I'm not talking about any kind of illegal actions.
You can compare it, if you use the fast track at BKK without any voucher, but being confident, well dressed and not being suspicious based on racial profiling. Nothing illegal about it, if they let you pass through that way.

I was used to take the premium lane with a voucher (LH; LX, OS, EY). Then I tried some flights with TG. On my first flight with TG I've asked for a voucher for the premium lane. The FA didn't know and asked the purser- He told me, I need nothing but my boarding pass. He didn't told me, that there are other lanes for TG business. So I went on taking the premium lane without voucher - and without any problems. It was my third or fourth time using the premium lane as TG business, when the officer at the premium lane told me, that they have a lane for TG business and that I'm not entitled to use the premium lane. Of course he let me pass that time as well. Since I know that, I use the fast track for TG business when flying TG business.
With that facts given, do you still see any issues about me not being honest?

I think, a lot of us, who travel often, know ways to come from landside to airside without passing a real security check and even without ticket. BKK belongs to the airport, where it is easier to do that,
At least the regular security check at BKK works well. I.e. at some ME airports even that is more a kind of voluntary thing.

In what way can you get from landslide to airside without a ticket or real security check at any RPT airport, anywhere? I travel a lot as you say and it simply cannot be done!
A very strange post indeed.

just passed TG fast track again this morning. Signboard is now totally hidden; you hardly see it when you walk from gates into the Arrival Hall East.
Watch out for the column is the right advise
is this intentionally hidden or just lousy implemented...one can only guess.
Was alone at this fast track and only 2 counters open

Your subsequent backup statements to this original one make no sense.

I won’t tell you the way how to do it at BKK here, because it is repeatable easily. And it is nothing illegal about it. As long as you don‘t carry forbidden items, of course.
But it is hard to believe that you‘ve never watched or experienced a non-real security check.

Some self-assumed highly experienced BKK travellers recognize, that they are less experienced as they‘ve thought. That is the whole story and nothing strange about it.

I infer from thbe's earlier post that they have found that it is possible to use a fast track departure by bluffing one's way into the priority/APEC/Diplomatic lanes...

The posts definitely don't strike me as having anything to do with legit passenger entry.

First of all it is really strange to impute dishonesty or illegal behaviour to someone, just because you don't know what he knows. This forum is based on the fact that not all people know the same about everything.
I won't describe a security issue like that in a public forum. But I'm really surprised, that some frequent travellers say, that they have never watched or experienced serious security problems at airports.

Fast track for purchase, BKK departure service
Does anyone know or recommend a good provider of this service? The BFS website will apparently not sell this service if Economy Class tickets, which is very strange. My flight is a one class, PG flight, and this “rule” seems to defeat the purpose of selling the service to begin with. If one has a premium ticket, the service is almost always included, and therefore would not need to be purchased separately.
I do know for a fact that it is available in conjunction with with hotel car transfers, regardless of class of travel. So it must stil be possible.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
